1. International Practice Seminar - Away From Home Venue: A Foundation, LondonBooking: To book your FREE place at this event email Simona Dell-Agli (Maximum of 2 tickets per person)** March 2010 sees two project launches from Artquest focussing on the importance of international practice for London-based practitioners: our improved and expanded Artroute site, providing arts-specific advice for artists travelling around the world; and our fully tested and improved Artelier website, a free online global studio exchange network. These initiatives both create valuable opportunities for international travel, dialogue and collaboration, and make the case as to the importance of working internationally to London-based artists. Artroute and Artelier orient practitioners in the art ecologies of the nuanced art scenes around the world, giving them access to networks and contacts, making travel more effective. To mark the launch of these online projects, Artquest present Away From Home, an open, practice-led, panel dialogue that considers the mechanics of international collaboration and the challenges – and benefits – to artists who choose to work overseas. The seminar will be hosted at the A Foundation, London, alongside the exhibition Journeys With No Return. For full details of the afternoon visit the Artquest website.

Courtesy of the artist and Gitte Weise Gallery, Berlin Participating artists: Nevin Aladag, Zineb Sedira, Adam Chodzko, Olaf Metzel, Denizhan Ozer, Clemens von Wedemeyer, Olaf Nicolai, Ergin Cavusoglu, Melanie Manchot, Asli Sungu, Kiran Kaur Brar and Nasan Tur. Curators: Alice Sharp, Peter Cross and Levent Calikoglu Exhibition organiser: Denizhan Ozer A Foundation is the London focus of a touring exhibition to Istanbul, London and Berlin 2009/10. Inspired by the celebrated Turkish writer and political figure Nazim Hikmet's book of poems Journeys With No Return, this project explores reflections of Turkish migration on contemporary art. The exhibition features twelve artists from Germany, Great Britain and Turkey in works that are new to UK audiences – six of which are unveiled for the first time. The artists balance the local with the global, their subjective sense of identity with cultural dissemination that potentially knows no borders. Using popular music, rap, cinematic conventions, anthropology and documentary they exploit archive images, cultural stereotypes and information systems. See the Journeys With No Return website for more information 9.30- 5.30pm 19th February With the Goethe Institut and International Curators Forum Tickets including lunch £50 and £35 student/unemployed: To book call: 0207 5964 000 This conference organised with the International Curators Forum will address the themes of the exhibition, such as how culture is transformed through migration, the influence of Turkish migration on contemporary practitioners and how we are building new cultural contexts in the 21st century city. Held at the Goethe Institut, it is chaired by Edgar Schmitz (Goldsmith College, London) and Lisa Le Feuvre (Writer and Curator) and includes speakers Irit Rogoff, Professor of Visual Culture at Goldsmiths College, a theorist, curator and organiser, Artist Adam Chodzko and Dr. Mark Nash, Head of Department for Curating Contemporary Art, Royal College of Art.

3. Emerge session - Curating a group show "We're in a group show with nothing in common!"

=
Date: Tuesday 9 February 2010, 6.30 - 8.30pm Venue: The Tabernacle, Westbourne Park Booking: Tickets £5. Sign up and book on Emerge Website===== As practitioners we often find ourselves in situations where we're organising shows ourselves. Be this an exhibition with ex college friends or an open studio show, these can find us working with artists with very different practices with no clear connection or theme. This session ‘We're in a group show with nothing in common!' considers approaches to curating a disparate and unconnected collection of works and will advise on key issues to consider and exploit such as who or what goes where? How do you make it coherent for your audience? Bring along your art (or a photograph of your work) for our participative workshop led by Nick Kaplony, Artquest Programme Co-ordinator and Exhibitions officer at Pump House Gallery, along with invited guest advisors and curators Matt Roberts and Susie Gray. This event is part of a new professional development seminar series for emerging artists that Emerge is running in partnership with Artquest. For more information about this partnership, the event and biographies of those involved please visit the Artquest website. Please note that Artquest are not administering bookings for this event. To book a place please visit the emerge website.

Sign up and book on Emerge Website=== This event is for anyone wanting to put on a show or project in a space that isn't already a gallery. The event will address crucial questions in getting a space up and running - How do you find a space? What do you need to insure? And, of course, why am I doing it? This course will cover all aspects of setting up an artist run space, look at the advantages and potential pitfalls of such an activity, taking participants through the practical and philosophical reasons for embarking on this kind of project. The course will be led by Artquest's Russell Martin, an experienced visual artist and writer who has set up and run two artist run spaces in London over the past ten years. Advisors on hand will include practitioners and experts with a wealth of experience on setting up spaces such as Katie Schwab and Roger White and Clare Moloney.
